Ordering Chaos – Landscape Gardening, Soft and Hard
Landscape gardening, then, is done the moment a person puts a fence down
, or introduces a plant to a pot. Free standing planters, in fact, are the most compact and common form of landscaping the ultimate marriage of hard (pot) to soft (flowers). Containing little pieces of nature in this way allows us to make better sense of them in a way, to enjoy them more. It's like taking one's favourite movement out of a huge never ending symphony and just listening to that. A little piece that makes a lot more sense of the whole. All landscape gardening is the same as a plant pot just bigger and more ornate.
